Fresh pasta anywhere?

Surprisingly so for such a rich area, there are not very many places that sell it. And those that do, it's not great. There used to be this place in Leesburg that was the best but they are out of business now. The Eastern Market is probably the next best imo.
I feel like I've tried everywhere else. The Italian store in Arlington shockingly doesn't sell it (only ravioli) and I'm not a fan of what they sell at the Vienna Italian Gourmet. There's some shop in Falls Church that is only OK and last I checked, the Trattoria Villagio in Clifton makes a decent pasta but not for individual sale. Only in their restaurant.

How about your own house? Pasta is incredibly easy to make.

You can purchase a perfectly good pasta machine for less than $50. That said, the only real difference between fresh pasta and dried pasta is the cooking time.

Frankly speaking, I also was searching for the perfect home pasta and I didn't find it in the stores. Just in some restaurants, it was really good. So, I decided to learn to make it by myself. Indeed, you need just the simplest products you have always at home and 30 minutes. I ordered a cool thing - pasta-maker form kitease.com , so now there is nothing easier than to make pasta at home. To tell the truth, the taste differs from restaurant dishes, but it's really delicious and my family eats with pleasure.

Those two old ladies have been making pasta in the window for years! When I first walked by there, I thought they were sex workers from Amsterdam! Lol! But after I talked to them, I realized they were 80 years old and were simply sex workers from Italy.
